It was a beautiful day out - sunshine and blue skies. If you're a beginner hiker, this one would probably be difficult for you to do if you go past certain points, because multiple areas of the trail were completely washed out (so there were some tough spots to get through; rocky and slippery). Recommended for hikers who'd like a little bit of a challenge.
The views were stunning and worth it though! It was pretty cool walking down old train tracks and seeing the river rushing next to it. A few tunnels to walk through as well.
We even found some big rocks right off the trail overlooking the river that ended up being the perfect spot for a mini picnic.
